ABOUT US
A Piece of Lebanon, Right Here in Germany
961 is Lebanon's international dialing code. For us, it's a reminder of where we come from — and a promise of what you'll find when you walk through our doors.
We created 961 Lounge for every Lebanese person living in Germany who has ever missed the sound of Arabic in the background, the smell of fresh ahweh, or the simple comfort of sitting back with a shisha among people who just get it. Far from home, yet completely at home — that's the feeling we set out to build.
"We didn't build 961 for tourists. We built it for the Lebanese soul that needed somewhere familiar to land."
Whether you grew up in Beirut, Tripoli, or the mountains — whether you've been in Germany for two months or twenty years — there's a seat here with your name on it. Come for a cocktail, stay for the conversation. Bring your friends, your family, your stories. The shisha is lit and the night is long.
961 Lounge is more than a café. It's a gathering point — a little corner of Lebanon in the heart of Germany, where the culture stays alive one cup of coffee at a time.
The Lebanese Art of Sitting Together
In Lebanon, you don't just meet someone for a quick coffee. You sit down, you order another round, you lose track of time — and that's exactly the point.
At 961 Lounge, we've built a space around that culture. Our menu is a reflection of what Lebanese people love: freshly brewed coffee and aromatic teas, hand-crafted cocktails with a Lebanese twist, cold fresh juices, premium shisha, and indulgent desserts that taste like something your teta would've made. Every detail is chosen to feel authentic — because to us, it is.
But what we're really offering is something you can't put on a menu: the atmosphere of a Lebanese gathering. The warmth of familiar faces. The sound of Arabic laughter. The kind of evening where one glass turns into three and nobody minds at all.
"In Lebanon, hospitality isn't a policy — it's a way of life. We brought that with us."
We welcome everyone, but we were built with the Lebanese diaspora in mind. If you've been craving a space where the culture, the language, and the vibe all feel like home — you've found it. Come as you are, stay as long as you like. That's the 961 way.
